We're looking for a Biddable Media Buyer to support the day-to-day execution and optimization of digital media campaigns, with a primary focus on programmatic (approximately 80% of the role) and a secondary focus on paid social (approximately 20%). This is a hands-on-keyboard role focused on execution, platform management, and operational support, working closely with Media Managers to ensure campaigns are launched accurately, optimized efficiently, and run smoothly.
This role requires hands-on experience managing programmatic campaigns in DV360. DV360 experience is required, not optional. Experience with The Trade Desk is a plus, as the team will use TTD for a smaller share of campaigns (primarily sports/CTV activations), but it is not required.
This role is ideal for someone early in their digital media career who wants deep, practical experience across platforms, buying models, and campaign types, with the majority of that experience concentrated in programmatic.
Primary Responsibilities- Support day-to-day execution and real-time optimization of digital media buys, with the majority of time spent on programmatic (DV360) and a smaller share on paid social
- Assist Programmatic & Paid Social Media Managers with:
- Campaign setup, QA, and trafficking
- In-flight optimizations and budget pacing
- Performance monitoring and delivery checks
- Assist with publisher, supplier, and platform coordination as needed
- Perform quality assurance checks to ensure campaigns are set up correctly and delivering as expected
- Help compile performance data, screenshots, and insights for reporting and optimizations
- Troubleshoot basic delivery or creative issues and escalate as needed
QualificationsRequired - Hands-on experience within DV360 required
- Foundational knowledge of paid social media buying platforms
- Familiarity with digital ad formats, creative specifications, and trafficking processes
- Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines
- Comfortable working in execution-focused, fast-paced environments
- Strong organizational and communication skills
- Eagerness to learn and grow within biddable and digital media
Preferred - Experience with The Trade Desk (TTD)
- Experience with platforms such as Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, or other paid social platforms, and ad servers (e.g., Campaign Manager 360)
- Exposure to endemic or direct digital buying
- Agency or in-house media team experience
- Basic understanding of media metrics and performance KPIs
- Interest in developing deeper expertise in programmatic and paid social media
